Irreverently juggling magical realism, film noir, hip hop, and chicanismo, Tropic of Orange takes place in a Los Angeles where the homeless, gangsters, infant organ entrepreneurs, and Hollywood collide on a stretch of the Harbor Freeway.

Cansados del abuso y explotación que sufren, los animales dentro de la granja de los Jones se sublevan contra sus dueños humanos y los derrocan.

Al traicionar su propia identidad y los intereses de su clase, se crea una nueva clase de burocracia en la granja, la cual refleja la estructura de una idealizada organización totalitarista.

In diesen sechs Sekunden erstarrten die Märkte, Satelliten kalibrierten neu, und Regierungen griffen instinktiv nach Telefonen, die nicht klingelten. Dann kamen die Bildschirme zurück. Drei Fahnen füllten den Rahmen. Nicht die Flaggen, die jemand erwartet hatte.
